Here's hoping that 2026 is less of a complete shitshow than 2025. Glad you guys are still here

At least one cool thing about 2026 is that it's the Year of the Fire Horse. Or rather, one hot thing. How dope is that?

 

[Knutz Scorpio]

Initially read that as 'Year of the Fire Hose' and thought it was appropriate after years of dumpster fires.

I predict 2026 will outperform 2025 by a substantial margin. Let's meet here again next year and compare notes!

May this be the Year of the Big Beautiful Obituary.

You can get out of the attic and out from behind the couch now. Most of the drunks and fools are safely off the road, with a few more on concrete beds.

I got banned from Reddit, probably for calling out Nazi Fascists for their actions on some thread, but the system makes it hard to tell what comment exactly.

So the year is off to a good start.

For those who didn't spend their time whooping it up at a New Year's celebration ( ), maybe that's not a bad thing...

Hundreds tricked into attending fake New Year’s Eve fireworks display... again

Hundreds of people were tricked into attending a fake New Year’s Eve fireworks display in Birmingham city centre for the second year in a row.

Large crowds gathered in Centenary Square on Wednesday night after seeing adverts for the event on social media.

Videos shared online showed revellers waiting for the fireworks to begin shortly before midnight. However, they were later filmed dispersing after it became clear that no display would take place.

Not that there was no one looking out for them.

People attended the event despite West Midlands Police warning that no firework display would be happening in the city centre.

The force issued the warning after thousands had gathered in Centenary Square on New Year’s Eve last year following false claims online about food vendors, performances and a “magnificent firework display”.

Ol' W sure could mangle a sentence, bless his little "heart." Maybe he was thinking of "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

Day 4 and we're already giving 2025 a run for its money!

Day 4 and we're already giving 2025 a run for its money!

Well. I had a momentary, mildly optimistic interpretation of "will outperform 2025 by a substantial margin," but I quickly discarded it. I see I was right.

Between that and "Here's hoping that 2026 is less of a complete shitshow than 2025," I feel compelled to point out that perhaps we've suffered a bit of erosion in our standards...

 

[Govi]

So 2026 is just two balls away from 2025? Oh.My.Gawd.

No, George W. Bush. It says it right there in my quotation.
